First light of a new year
You know, sometimes I could curse technology. Like, when my alarm clock, that is programmed to wake me up at 5:45 on a Tuesday does so on January 1. I mean, it wasn’t a gentle “Happy new year” it threw at me. So I turned, tried to sleep again and felt a bit of a new year hangover creeping up.
After a while, not being able to fall asleep again, I got up, looked up the lake and noticed a promising glow. And thought a lil bit of fresh air might help fight my hangover. And so I got up, grabbed a camera, tripod and and went to the lake. Of course, I wasn’t dressed appropriately and was freezing my butt off while watching the show.
First light of 2013
And so, with the first light of the year, happy new year to my dear reader, may it bring you laughter, joy and good light 
Technical stuff: I took 5 exposures and blended them then in Photoshop Elements using layer masks, some green tea and a yoghurt. And no, the last two things are not Photoshop filters 
Stunning beautiful!! Thank heaven for green tea, that’s my secret too!!
All the best for a happy and creative 2013 to you and your family!
Thank you, it was definitely worth getting up! And yes it’s my secret weapon, but shhh… Don’t tell!
